WARNING: Continuous kernel panics after 2.0 beta installed!

I was previously using the a3 version without issue. Saw the 2.0b1 update, and installed it. Machine never booted back up. Got gray screens on two normal monitors, nothing on USB monitor. Gave it over 5 minutes, hit power button. Reboot got kernel panics, sometimes got partial reboot...then kernel panic, and reboot, then continuous loop of reboots.

Booted in single user mode, deleted the DisplayLink* kext files, rebooted...still no change.

Couple times got booted up to gray screens, ssh'd to my machine, looked at running processes...saw other DisplayLink apps running from /Library/Priviledged... Moved those out of there so they won't start. Still can't boot up.

27" iMac, i7 2.93Ghz, 10.8.2.

Everything had been working pretty much OK during the alphas. This b1 killed my system...still trying to figure out a way to get it up again.

I've also tried with and without the USB DisplayLink device attached.

What am I supposed to do now? What else did it screw with?
